Hello there, I’m B.M. and just like few electrical engineers before me, I wanted to share my story and tell you about the day I’ve faced a FIRE in my electrical installation.
Please note that the pictures are mine, original and from the “burnt” site.
What happens when a MV AutoTransformer misconnection and a LV breaker hooked up to an inadequate wire size meet? FIRE! Here’s a story that D.Ros, an electrical engineer based in Germany, kindly sent us. Read below the details on the day his electrical installation caught fire.
Enjoy and please note that the aim is not to denounce but to understand better the situation so that you all can be careful in the future during your own electrical projects.
Hi I’m D. and today I wanted to share a story with you all. The day when my electrical equipment burnt!
New article by a trained electrical engineer from Venezuela. Enjoy!
When dealing with electrical installations, you must be aware of some special scenarios that could come across, which require particular considerations in order to make a safe and reliable design for equipment and more important yet, for people’s lives.
These scenarios constitute restricted areas for most people, special places in which careful measures must be taken to enter in them, whether exists the possibility of explosion or fire due to a mixture of particular elements like a surge of energy, sparks or arcs produced by the flow of electrical energy.
Here’s the second article of Patricia, who wants to list 12 errors which are very common and that occurs far too often during installations.
To her opinion, they should be avoided for the security of people and equipment. See the 12 most common errors below (and their solutions)!
